When you come across a study in which the appropriate
sample size was determined prior to the collection of any data, give
the
researcher some bonus points for taking the time to set up the study
with sensitivity to both Type I and Type II errors. When you come across
a
study in which the power associated with the test(s) conducted on the
correlation coefficient(s) is computed in a post hoc sense, give the
researcher
only a few bonus points. And when you come across a study in which there
is no mention whatsoever of statistical power, award yourself some
bonus points for detecting a study that could have been conducted better
than
it was.
